Who is he?

A self-taught — if you consider learning everything you know by reading books and looking over other creatives' shoulders, then yes, Daren is self-taught filmmaker. He's worked on everything from successful YouTube channels to directing and starring in a show for Peacock's People Like Me, and has built a social media platform that's driven millions of views for brands like Google, Booking.com, and BetterHelp.
